How we rate

Most casino rankings are ordered by bonus size, which is the one number the casino controls completely and the one that tells you least. We rank on disclosure instead: what a casino is willing to put in writing about getting your money back, and whether the things it has written agree with each other.

The four things we score

1. Does it publish a withdrawal ceiling?

The weekly cap is the number that converts a balance into a schedule. A casino that states $1,000 a week scores above one that states nothing, even though $1,000 is the worse figure — because you can plan against a stated limit and you cannot plan against silence. Three of the casinos we cover publish one.

2. Does it publish fees and processing times, per method?

A payout rail without a published fee is a rail with an unknown cost. Where casinos do publish, the numbers are material: $50 for a bank wire, $60 for a courier check, nothing for crypto. Two casinos here publish a full schedule; four publish none at all.

3. Do its own documents agree?

This is the heaviest penalty we apply, because an internal contradiction is not an omission — it is two claims, one of which is wrong, with no way for a reader to tell which. Uptown Aces states a $5,000 weekly limit in its terms while no method in its cashier exceeds $3,000. Sun Palace advertises “150% up to $10,000” in its page title against a bonus table that caps the same offer at $3,000.

4. What do the restrictions cost in practice?

Multipliers, cashout caps and bet ceilings are scored on what they do to a realistic outcome, not on how they read. A 70× requirement on a free $20 is $1,400 of turnover. A $180 cap on free spin winnings deletes everything above it. A $10 bet ceiling during playthrough voids promotion winnings if you breach it once.

What we do not score

• Game counts. Unverifiable, inflated as a matter of routine, and irrelevant to whether you get paid.
• Crowd ratings. We cannot audit them, and republishing someone else's number as our own judgement would be dishonest.
• Bonus size in isolation. It enters the score only through what the terms do to it.
• Design and app quality. Real, but not what this site is for.

Where the numbers come from

Every figure is read from the casino's own banking page, bonus terms or terms-and-conditions, and carries the month it was read. Three of these casinos serve their cashier only through JavaScript, so those were read in a browser rather than fetched; one publishes its payout method names only inside images, so those were taken from the image descriptions. None of it is copied from another review site.

What gets a casino excluded

The brand no longer exists. Desert Nights redirects to Slots Capital from all three of its domains. Its affiliate links still work, which is precisely why a review of it would be worthless.

Its market is genuinely closed. A terms clause alone is not enough to exclude a casino, and we learned that the hard way here. Red Stag names the USA among regions it may turn away, so we held it unranked. Then we loaded its registration form from a US address and found every state offered and the country pre-selected — while seven of the eight other regions in the same clause had genuinely been removed. It now ranks first. The rule that came out of it: check the form, not just the clause, and check it from where the reader actually is.
